Apr 17 Art in Protest

Protest art refers to creative works that concern or are produced by activists and social movements. It has been around for decades and will continue to color our voices and actions as we fight for justice in our cities. This issue we share some of our favorites from friends and family across the country. Please continue to share your protest art with us on Instagram and tag #MCprotestart @multiple.cities

Multiple Cities is holding itself accountable for any decisions we have or have not made to undo the disparities and deep roots of racism in the cities we live and work in. In the next few days, weeks, months, and years, we want to continue offering Multiple Cities as a platform to educate ourselves and others, and share seminal experiences, on how to dismantle underlying systems of oppression.

Hope everyone is in good health, physically, mentally, and emotionally. @multiple.cities has posted a special piece on the current pandemic and its broader impact on our cities. The post includes links to resources for businesses, tips for future planning, and human reflections. Link in bio or visit www.multiplecities.org. @multiple.cities has always been grounded in curating and crowdsourcing stories and experiences. If you have a story or reflections you'd like to share, or even if you just need an ear, send your thoughts our way. #covid_19 #planning

Multiple Cities is back with a special end-of-summer feature on Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) and potential dangers as TNCs inch toward taking over public transit in our cities.
